📋 CPC Range Comparison Across Industries

💡 Tips & Interpretation

🎯

Start 20% above recommended

When launching new campaigns, bid 20% higher than the recommended CPC to ensure sufficient impression share while learning.

📉

Quality Score reduces actual CPC

A QS of 8 can reduce your effective CPC by 40%. Good ad relevance and landing page experience compound over time.

⏰

CPC varies by time of day

Peak competition hours (typically 9AM–12PM weekdays) can push CPCs 25–40% above the daily average.

🏆

Exact match pays less per click

Despite higher relevance, exact match often has lower actual CPCs vs broad because the auction is more competitive and QS is higher.
